Reading the Huangdi Neijing for Physical and Mental Health
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) embodies the profound ancient philosophical wisdom, health preservation concepts, and practical experiences of the Chinese nation, serving as a key to unlock the treasure trove of Chinese civilization.
The Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon) is the foundational work of TCM and the source of health preservation wisdom. The idea of “treating the unillness before it becomes illness, and addressing chaos before it becomes disorder” found in the Huangdi Neijing is an important theoretical basis for future health preservation concepts.
To study TCM, love health preservation, and become a healthy person, reading the Huangdi Neijing is essential. May the sound of the classics resonate, wisdom be attained, virtue and skills progress daily, and may one’s own health also bring health to others.
May everyone be joyful, and every family be united and blessed with longevity!
